cgroup: Add generic cgroup subsystem permission checks.
Rather than using explicit euid == 0 checks when trying to move tasks into a cgroup via CFS, move permission checks into each specific cgroup subsystem. If a subsystem does not specify a 'can_attach' handler, then we fall back to doing our checks the old way. This way non-root processes can add arbitrary processes to a cgroup if all the registered subsystems on that cgroup agree. Also change explicit euid == 0 check to CAP_SYS_ADMIN Signed-off-by: San Mehat <san@google.com>
